#one of the most important american poems of the 20th c truly meant to be read aloud
Note
starting short with Harlem by Langston Hughes. i really love the cadence of it
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
#one of the most important american poems of the 20th c truly meant to be read aloud#like i said earlier there's a reason why they shove this down our throats in school#thanks for sending!#2024 poetry challenge
